NMBS/SNCB Class 41 DMUs are diesel multiple-unit trains operated by the National Railway Company of Belgium (NMBS/SNCB). They are the standard train for Belgian internal workings which cannot be worked by EMUs. They work under the 25 kV electrification in the South of Belgium as well as on the non-electrified lines in the North.
All railway lines in Belgium are identified by a route number and these numbers are in widespread general use (for example, in passenger train timetables). Most of the numbers have remained unchanged since the creation of the SNCB/NMBS in the 1920s, although line closures and the construction of new routes have led to a few alterations over the years.
Some were repainted into yellow and blue to increase visibility. All ended up blue when SNCB decided that yellow locomotives needed to be washed more often than dark ones, a lesson since forgotten given the livery of Classes 13, 18², 19², AM96, AR41 and M6 and updated M5 coaching stock. 2627 was the last yellow electric on the SNCB.
